Reply #6: Meanwhile.... [View All]

all those folks who are without their undies, toothbrushes, and toothpaste because they were forced to check their carry on bags are washing the pair they were wearing every night and gargling with saltwater....oops....they had to check their emergency laundry detergent too....

(Don't laugh too hard, this actually happened to us in the late 80s in the Soviet Union and was the first thing we thought of when talk of banning carry on luggage started. Couldn't buy replacement anything back then, and once you left the city of entry your luggage couldn't be forwarded to you in a new entry port. Took two cities to find undies to buy. The only thing that saved us for the week and a half until we were reunited with our luggage was the fully stocked personal hygiene kit we carried in our carry on luggage.)
